Solution

The probability of drawing a heart from a standard deck of 52 cards is 13/52 or 1/4 since there are 13 hearts in the deck.

When one heart is drawn, there are now 51 cards left in the deck and 12 hearts. So, the probability of drawing a second heart is 12/51.

The probability of both events happening is the product of their individual probabilities. So, the probability of drawing two hearts in a row is (1/4) * (12/51) = 12/204 = 1/17.
